Recently, the IFPO launched a special alumni-only section on its website:
"On behalf of the IFPO Board of Directors we are pleased to announce the recent creation of this IFPO Alumni section. It has been developed for the purpose of developing a platform where our students & graduates can receive continued support and educational resources to enhance their professional development and career opportunities."
Among the advantages is that IFPO Alumni will have access to exclusive articles, like this one titled "Citizens as Targets and Impact on Security Professionals While We Learn, Pray and Play" by newest IFPO Director Dr. Jennifer Hesterman, Colonel, U.S. Air Force (retired):
"We have a complex problem in our country, one that I would call a perfect storm for our citizens. Factor 1 – Terrorism. Since the attacks of 9/11, we’ve further “hardened our hard targets,” like government buildings, utilities and military installations. Therefore, terrorists (foreign and domestic) are turning their sights elsewhere – towards easy-to-access, vulnerable places and people. We need to remember that around the world there are horrific battles being fought daily, and the battlefield lines have been redrawn to include churches, schools, hospitals, shopping venues, transportation hubs and sporting and recreational events – soft targets."
